  1. El Rey

    1971

    Ranked No. 2 in Mariachi

    A man with nothing insisting he is still the king. Jiménez could not read music and wrote a thousand songs; this is the one carved on his tomb.

  2. Ella

    1950

    Ranked No. 8 in Mariachi

    Drinking, dignity and a woman who left. Jiménez wrote the same song repeatedly for two decades and it was a very good song.
